Bug 522810 – >=www-client/epiphany-3.12 - kill jit use flag and pax-mark

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alexander Tsoy 2014-09-14 21:26:59 UTC]

jit use flag is redundant since epiphany binary does not need to be pax-marked anymore. webkit binaries need to be pax-marked instead.

shouldn't the dep on webkit-gtk be always on webkit-gtk[jit] instead then?

[Comment 3 Alexander Tsoy 2014-10-28 22:56:45 UTC]

No.

<=epiphany-3.10 + <=webkit-gtk-2.2 - single epiphany process which performs rendering, javascript processing, etc. Thus if JIT is enabled in webkit-gtk, then epiphany executable needs to be pax-marked with "m" (to disable MPROTECT protections). That's why USE=jit was introduced in epiphany.

>=epiphany-3.12 + >=webkit-gtk-2.4 - separate process "WebKitWebProcess" *for each opened tab* which performs rendering, javascript processing, etc. No javascript in the main epiphany process = no need to pax-mark it regardless the state of jit use flag in webkit-gtk ebuild.
